Justin Wright wants to protect his country from the evil invasion forces of Devastian, so he signs up in the Army. However, boot camp is more grueling than he thought, and it will take more than him and his new friends to combat the looming evil threat.

Scene opens as we
see a convoy of five military SUVs heading towards a base at night.
In the third SUV sits Private First Class Ethan Navarro. Beside him
sits Private First Class Earl 'Mack' Mackenzie and Private
Olivier Hernandez. They are laughing and joking.

Mack: So the priest
asks the president, "What are you doing in my bar?" and the
president replies "what are you doin' in my country?"

The
troopers in the SUV laugh.

Mack: (laughing) I
swear, I almost fell off my stool!

Olivier: If I were
there, I would've given them both some beer! They need it!

Mack: That's
exactly what I thought. It looks like we need some beer too.

Mack cranes his
neck to look at the looming base ahead. The SUVs are coming down a
winding road to a guard post.

Mack: What do you
think they have there? Pina Coladas?

Ethan: Maybe they have
some Cabernet Sauvi- whatever they're called.

Mack: Cabernet
Sauvignon.

Ethan: How do you
know?

Mack: It's my girlfriend's favorite type of wine.

Ethan: Your
girlfriend…her names Jen, right?

Mack: Yeah. We're going
to be engaged as soon as I get back home, which is
tomorrow!

Olivier: You gonna give her some Cabernet
Sauvi-whatever they're called when you return?

Mack: Of
course! And I got…

He smiles
brightly.

Mack: This.

He takes out a
small box from a pocket and opens it. Inside, there is an engagement
ring. All the troopers crowd around it to look.

Olivier: Woah…You're
so lucky, dude!

Mack smiles. He
looks happy and bliss.

Ethan: Well, I'm
looking for some Pina Coladas.

The troopers
laugh.

Meanwhile, in the
first SUV of the convoy, Captain Jim Boyerfield stares at the guards
as they approach. Boyerfield turns to his lieutenant, Lieutenant
Chris Brock.

Boyerfield: The
guards…they look strange…

Brock: It's two in
the morning, sir. They're bound to look a little strange.

One of the guards
approaches the driver of the SUV. He is unusually straight, and his
eyes are sharp blue. The guard always stares straight ahead.

The driver
complies, and the guard runs the ID in his scanner before returning
it to the driver.

Guard:
Identification confirmed. Please proceed.

The guard motions
towards the gate. The gate slowly swings open and the convoy
continues through. Boyerfield looks uneasy as he eyes the guards
walking around. All of the guards are the same way as the first. They
all move at the same time. Boyerfield starts shaking.

Boyerfield: (in a
whisper) Lieutenant, tell the men to load their weapons. Something is
not right.

Brock: Yes sir.

Brock presses a
button on his radio, which is strapped to his shoulder.

Brock: All units
load weapons.

Suddenly, their
SUV explodes. Boyerfield and Brock are engulfed in flames.

Cuts to Ethan's
SUV. All the troopers try to see what happened to the first SUV. Men
from the second SUV start to jump out. Guards of the base start to
converge on them, firing their automatic machine guns. New enemies
also come out. These new enemies wear helmets that cover their face
as well as camouflage pants and jackets.

Ethan: What the
heck?

Mack: We're under attack! Over the side, now!

Mack frantically
puts the ring back in his pocket and hastily loads his rifle. The SUV
behind them explodes.

Ethan: Bail out now!
We can't stay in here!

They jump out of the SUV, firing
back at the enemies. Mack sprains his ankle on landing and leans
against a wall, seething. Olivier jumps behind Ethan. They all look
scared as another trooper jumps out, only to receive bullets from the
opposing force.

Ethan: We have to
get out of this place!

Mack: (in pain) How? I can't
walk!

Ethan: We have to find a way!

A guard appears
at the other side of the building and fires. Olivier, who was holding
on to Ethan's backpack, gets hit and falls, face frozen in horror.
Mack screams. Ethan returns fire, hitting the guard in the chest.

Ethan checks
Olivier. He finds no pulse, so he rips off Olivier's dog tags.

Ethan: Come on,
Mack!

He hoists Mack up and supports him as they move
towards the fifth SUV, which is undamaged.

Mack: Ethan, I don't
think I can make it!

Ethan: Hold on,
Mack! Just a few more meters!
An enemy soldier appears
somewhere behind them and fires. A puff of smoke exits Mack's body.
Mack yelps and crumples to the ground. The enemy soldier gets hit by
someone else and falls, too.

Ethan: Mack! Mack!

Ethan kneels and
looks at his friend. Mack is gasping for air, but it is clear that
he's dying.

Mack slowly and
shakily removes the box containing the ring from his pocket. He hands
it towards Ethan. Ethan, crying, takes it.

Mack: E…e…

He chokes.

Mack: Goodbye…

Mack falls limp.
Ethan is frozen for a few seconds, and then stands up, face frozen as
he stares at Mack's body. He loads his rifle and prepares to
unleash his fury at the enemy. Suddenly, everything freezes and turns
blue. Ethan becomes weak, and he falls to his knees.

A low voice
rumbles through the place. It belongs the demon Ace.

Ace: Private First
Class Ethan Navarro…we meet at last…

Ethan stares,
horrified, and then tries to shoot. However, his gun doesn't work.

Ace: Do you know who
I am?

Ethan: (shivering)
you're that demon…Ace…

Ace: Yes, I am. And
do you know who you are?

Ethan: I…I…

Ace: You are the
perfect candidate for my ultimate plan. You have the raw nerve, the
clouded emotions, and the desire to get retribution. You want to kill
me, correct?

Ethan: What…?

Ace: Correct. I
staged this whole operation. The guards you saw were my minions. The
soldiers you saw…let's just say, they're your minions now.

Ethan: I don't
understand…You got the wrong guy!

Ace: I'm never
wrong. And unless you retrieve your heart, you will still like
this…forever.

Ethan:
My…heart?

Ace: Yes. And the task I'm giving you will make
use of that time. You familiar with…the Jamura?

Ethan: no…

Ace: Then get
familiar. For now I must leave you here. Remember the plan, and
remember this day…the day they betrayed you. Wake up from this
dream world…Etna.

A flash of dark
energy engulfs Ethan and he screams. Ace laughs evilly and
disappears.

Fade to Black…
